"There is no city in the world which as many nations have scrambled for, under whose rocks as many battles have fought for, that has changed its rulers as many times and that has been destroyed fifty times only to be rebuilt from its historical ashes every single time – none, other than our Belgrade.."
Borislav Pekić
With a rising interest in the work of socialist architects, Belgrade is just the right place for those who want to explore and learn about the Post-World War II architecture. Though the monumental buildings of the post war era are mixed with contemporary architecture, the prime examples of socialist realism, modernist and post-modernist architecture with massive brutalistic concrete blocks still represent a large part of the Belgrade panorama.
